Summary

Struthers Middle School is a grades 5–8 school serving 495 students in the Youngstown-area community of Struthers, Ohio, part of Struthers City school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 625th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (40th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 561st of 773 (27th percentile, 1 star) — making the school a relative bright spot within its own district, though it still sits below the state median. Its rank has gradually slipped from 3-star, top-half status around 2018–2021 to 2 stars in recent years.

Proficiency is below Ohio's state rate in every tested grade and subject except Algebra I, where 96.3% of students scored proficient — far above district and state averages, though several nearby schools also report 100%. The largest gaps were 8th grade science (42.9% vs. 61.2% statewide), 7th grade math (35.5% vs. 48.6%), and 5th grade science (50.8% vs. 62.7%). Compared with neighbors, Struthers trails Springfield Intermediate Middle School (86th percentile), Boardman Glenwood Junior High (78th), Austintown Middle School (72nd), and Hubbard Middle School (55th), but far outperforms Youngstown's East Middle at PRBerry and Chaney Middle, both at the 1st–2nd percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is the most urgent concern: 32.2% of students were chronically absent, roughly three times the rate at Springfield Intermediate Middle School (10.0%) and Poland Middle School (10.9%), and the rate has shown no clear improvement. Subgroup results are uneven — low-income students rank at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, while special education students sit at the 9th percentile with 0 stars. About 73% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 15.4.
